I used up 0.99 GB out of my 1 GB allowance. So, I had to buy some more. My (former) operator, Orange, sells a 1GB package for an ultra-low price (not really) of 15 PLN. (You can get the same package for less money, even half of that price, with other carriers.)

How to turn that on? You can send a text message or call a robot. I’ll give them a call then.

Gynvael Coldwind is a security researcher at Google, who hosts weekly livestreams about security and programming in Polish and English). As part of the streams, he gives out missions — basically, CTF-style reverse engineering tasks. Yesterday’s mission was about Elvish — I mean Paint — I mean Python programming and bytecode.

Setting up Python is usually simple, but there are some places where newcomers
(and experienced users) need to be careful. What versions are there? What’s the
difference between Python, CPython, Anaconda, PyPy? Those and many other
questions may stump new developers, or people wanting to use Python.

On Monday, Apple announced some changes to its Mac lineup. All MacBooks (even
the Air) got CPU upgrades, and the starting price of a MacBook Pro (13″, no
Touch Bar) went down to US$1299. Which makes the 12-inch model effectively
pointless.

A quick spec comparison reveals that the Pro comes with a much better CPU, GPU,
screen, camera — the only drawback is the storage space.

To create a project that other people can use and contribute to, you need to
follow a specific directory structure. Moreover, releasing a new version should
be as simple and painless as possible. For my projects, I use a template that
has the structure already in place, and comes with automation for almost every
part of a release.

CSV is not a standard. What does that really mean for anyone using that format?
The file’s recipient may be unable to read it the way you intended. Separators,
decimal marks, escaping and encodings are all problems — and Excel does them
all pretty badly.

Five months ago, I decided to make the switch from my trusty old desktop
computer, running Arch Linux, to a MacBook Pro. I picked the 2015 13" base
model with an upgraded hard drive. The device is beautiful, and just works™,
which is pretty important to me.
